Hyperdimension Neptunia Screens Wage Console War In English

Meanwhile, over on the PlayStation Blog, NIS America have shown off a few high-res English screenshots of the game, along with a write-up on the game’s battle system, in case you aren’t quite sure how that works.

The skip animation button was added to the japanese version shortly after release, looks like it’ll be in the western version day 1 which is great news if so. ^^

Happy Gamer

This game looks and sounds so unique. I been eyeing this one! def day 1 for me. I been low on cash so skipped ton of games since Enslaved (none) and before even. My list is about 23 missed games i really wanna try but im gonna give it to this one.

Having played Cross Edge, I’m surprised there’s ENOUGH female characters for people to voice. Of course, most sounded better than others (I’m talkin to you, Miko). What’s sad for me to believe is how a dub of Neptunia will turn out considering the 95% portion of moe girls.

I’ve only heard her voice work for games (being pro-subs for anime and all), but from what I have heard I find her to be a complete natural at it.Although ultimately I’d like nothing more than to have the original Japanese track, in cases where I only have the option of English (which is often, as many games aren’t dual track), I don’t mind having her at all.

Very well done. Didn’t she also do Rukia’s voice from Bleach? I thought she did that pretty well too. Her voice has a sameness to it from character to character, yet still distinct enough to fit the character she voices. I’m also not much a of dub fan, but I do watch some dubs from time to time to see the comparison with the original. I will admit the English VAs are getting much better and capture the voice a lot better than in the 1990s.

Also, wasn’t there an article here with a VA that went from doing anime to games saying that all the talent from anime is moving into games because it pays better? Sad to hear that. I’m happy the talent is going to games, but I’d like for both to get their fair share of talent.

Speaking of Bleach, I think Im starting to fall in love with all the Japanese voice actors for it. Rukia especially, “Nii-sama!”, actually a lot of the VA’s, though its probably because I havent been watching the dub for awhile, which I need to start buying again (boxsets are just $19.99, such a steal!!!)

Hate to break it to you but according to a post made by Lyner on the NISA forums, Laura Bailey will not have a part in this game. :/

No matter how I look at Neptunia I can’t like it guess I will save my money for Ar tonelico.

The official site for Neptuniahttp://nisamerica.com/games/neptunia/
mentions “premium” under the info tab. I wonder if they have something special planned for orders at their site as they usual do. Even if it’s just an artbook or something, that would be great as I’m really digging the designs.

Day one purchase for me. I’m so happy that NISA are bringing games like this to the states, especially when certain other companies, whom I won’t mention but whose name rhymes with Namco-Bandai, doesn’t see fit to share the JRPG love with the West.
